Books and flowers


I don't recall where I ran across this photo. On Instagram, I think, but I can't find it again now. I love the delicate shades of pink, the freshness of the white cabinet, the farmhouse sink and subway tiles, the books lined up above. Books and flowers, what could be better? I'm holding on to this gentle vision of our world today, as the 45th president constitutes his denaturalization task force to strip citizens "who should never have been naturalized" of their rights. I wonder who they'll find most undeserving and come for first? Rhetorical question. But aren't those flowers pretty?

  1. I am continually horrified and disgusted by Trump. Now he is quietly having all immigrant soldiers discharged for no other reason that they are immigrants after enticing them to join.

  2. Thank you for the image of the beautiful flowers, a refreshing change from the shit tRump likes to fling about.

  3. I've been thinking lately how he doesn't even try to hide his evilness. His vileness. He doesn't even try.

  4. Yes, those flowers and books are divine. The Man needs to disappear and disappear soon.

  5. I saw the flowers and books and then zoomed in to see if I could see any of the titles. Oh, how I love to snoop in a bookcase! Then I read the post. I have said it before and I will say it again. What will become of all of us? He gets along with evil, vile dictators who violate the most basic human rights codes then slams peaceful leaders. This week I watched a show on Netflix that was discussing spies during the Second World War. The similarities between then and now are so real. Whatever happened World War One being the war to end all wars? We haven’t learned and only the smallest part of me hangs onto hope that we will.

    At any rate, the documentary was interesting. It was called Churchill’s Secret Agents. Recommend.

  6. Such a lovely photo. All that color, and a scene of serene beauty. A balance to the madness that has taken power in our land. I live in a state of utter shock and disbelief and sadness.

  7. The flowers are lovely. I'm falling into escapist mode - I cannot cope with the demented idiot in charge, and the carnage in his wake. I am beside myself. So thank you for the flowers. xo
